An interactive presentation, created by Randy Hunt, will educate Cape Codders on how to save money on their monthly bills by exploring alternatives to cable and satellite TV. Hunt will walk attendees through some of the options, and explain how they work and how much they cost. A live demonstration and Q&A session will be included.

Attendees can expect to learn more about over-the-air programming, streaming equipment (such as Apple TV and Roku), and streaming services (such as Sling TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and CBS All Access). Consumers will also discover how they can use their internet connection to eliminate their landline telephone service.

The workshops are an extension of the Cape legislators’ efforts to invigorate Barnstable County’s residential high-speed internet service sector. In coordination with local leaders and stakeholders, they are exploring routes through which competition can be promoted, consumer costs lowered, and access to high-speed internet expanded.

The workshops are a public service provided by the Cape-area legislators, local senior centers and councils on aging, and libraries. They follow the successful cord-cutting workshops held at Cape Cod Community College last summer. On June 27, 2017, over 200 attendees packed the campus’ Studio Theatre between two sessions.
